3 Best Martial Arts Classes in Ballarat VIC

I have been attending boxing training with Dip a few times. He is very knowledgeable and it's a fun way to keep fit and loose weight. Highly recommended. I'm still coming to Ballarat to have training sessions with Dip. He is pushing me to the limit and also using a suppliment to help with my muscle tone. Since on it my stamina has increased and feel my leg and arm muscles getting more stronger.. I keeping it up and doing regular excercising at home and gym I can't wait to see the long term results.. Thanks again Dip. I'm pleased I have been coming to you. Have had a sparing session more difficult than I thought. With more sessions and tips from Dip I will improve and get a boxing match that Dip said he will arrange when I cut weight.

I’ve been to two lessons with Dip at his Muay Thai studio, and I love it! After seeing the progress he made with my sister, I had to check it out for myself. He’s incredibly patient and has amazing skills. The studio is comfortable, and I can’t wait to learn more. Thank you, Dip.

Highly recommend training with Dip either 1 on 1 or in his classes. Dip has created a great gym culture and is very generous with his time and knowledge.

Sensei Trent Rice (aka Coach Bear) is my Brazilian Jiu Jitsu teacher. Sensei Trent is a person who demonstrates strong character of dedication, drive, passion and love towards sharing his wealth of jiu jitsu knowledge with his students. He actively cultivates a rich community that instills the values of respect, integrity, humility and grace on and off the mats. My journey with jiu jitsu has only just begun, and I am so excited to learn, understand and grow old with the sport. Jiu jitsu has taught me so many valuable life lessons, and one of them is to have more compassion for myself when it comes to learning something I’m not good at. Thank you Sensei Trent (Bear) for extending your valuable knowledge of jiu jitsu to your students back in Melbourne (even though you are based in Ballarat). Your support and care has never gone unnoticed and are deeply appreciated by everyone.

Fantastic, friendly people with a great atmosphere. If you're looking to start Martial Arts for the first time or continuing your training, this is the place to do it.

Most open and inclusive place to train great for the little kid all the way up to the big kids/Adults. Love training both Karate and Brazilian Jiu Jistu. They not only see you as a person who attends, your dojo family.

I cannot recommend Tenacity Jiu Jitsu enough! Dean and the instructors are fantastic — extremely knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely care about each child's growth. They not only focus on technique but also instill values like discipline, respect, and teamwork, which are essential both on and off the mats. They are the perfect option for any kids interested in starting martial arts.

Tenacity is a fantastic Jiu-Jitsu club for all levels with a great mix of beginners and experienced people. Its family friendly with a great kids program and the coaches are professional, experienced and knowledgeable. I highly recommend Tenacity for ANY person want to experience a Jiu-Jitsu in a safe environment.

Great culture and amazing with kids classes with a huge variety of knowledge and coaches, makes everyone feel welcome and apart of the team no matter the the skill set or if you are just doing it as a hobbie or wanting to compete
